There's never a way
And there's never a day
To convince people
You can play their game
You can say their name
But you won't convince people
There's several ways
There's several ways
To convince people
Now you're people
And we're people
We've got to be
To convince people
It's the name of the game
It's the game of the name
Convincing people
Convincing people
There's several ways
There's several ways
To convince people
And there's several days
And there's never a way
To convince people
There's one way though
That you'll never convince people
And that's when you try
To be someone
Who's not telling
And who's not trying to compel
Who's trying to tell you
What you ought to be
Convinced of

You can 'say emphatically' whatever you please
but it's gibberish. The words are of a man of
superior mind and excelling consciousness in
whose presence when he wrote the above, you'd
not last twoseconds dearest.

What does that have to do with the text?
Nothing. maybe you can tell us about
'irony' and being awake.
You missed so wide off the mark it's quite
something.
You're so wrapped up in your ownego, it's staggering.
